Summary
By using the propagation of the light angular spectrum we develop an optical model for a defocused bright-field microscope.
Transparent objects can be visualized in a defocused microscope, since defocusing introduces a phase difference between the diffracted and transmitted light, which is translated into contrast after interference in the image plane.
For small defocusing the average contrast of a surface is proportional to its curvature.
We were able to obtain theoretical expressions for the correlation functions for one and two fluctuating interfaces. In the next lecture we will see, by using these expressions, how to obtain elastic information from the interfaces of living cells.

Summary • We developed an optical model of a Defocused Microscope, such that
height profile of phase objects can be reconstructed from their defocused images.
• With Defocusing Microscopy (DM), fluctuations on cell surfaces with nanometer height amplitude can be analyzed. By scanning the microscope objective focal plane position, one can selectively obtain information about fluctuations on different interfaces in a multilayer material. Fluctuation spatial power spectra of each interface can separately be obtained.
• We used DM to study flickering of red blood cells. We are able to test a recent elasticity model of RBC, obtain the effective lipid bilayer curvature modulus, cytoskeleton shear modulus, normalized by the effective temperature, and the average distance between the bilayer and cytoskeleton.
• Defocusing microscopy is a full-field technique for phase retrieval in phase objects, which can be implemented in any standard optical microscope.
